teortaxesTex · x · 2026-08-13
Pushing back against the recent narrative that DeepSeek struggles with post-training, the author highlights their track record. DeepSeek released the best open-weights coding model by October 2023, their GRPO algorithm is widely used across the industry, and Speciale was a major open-weights breakthrough on CF/CritPt. The author speculates the misconception might just stem from baseless rumors about Wenfeng not understanding SWE agents.
